A Fundraiser for a Canadian Children's Library in Ethiopia

Back in Business

Instead of “hazardous” baked goods, we’re going to sell chocolates…some from a lovely shop in Ridgeville called “Sweet Thoughts” (thank you Carolyn and Wayne) and some from Zehrs…all packaged up in suitably romantic Valentine ribbons etc. from the Dollar Store (Now you know how I spent my Snow Day!) My Mom has already made some delicious things, so they will be offered up in the International Office…donations welcome! (or better…we’ll disguise themso they look like they come from Sobey’s!! shhhhhhh!)

The Read-a-thon kits are making they’re way out there… from Niagara Falls to Fonthill, to Waterdown and even further. Sandra, a colleague and friend of mine is even taking one as she heads off to teach English in Spain next week. If you are working internationally and would like a copy, I can certainly adjust some of the wording to customize it to your school. In fact, feel free to make simple alterations to the document so that it works for your students.

Chapters:

My high school friend Anne contacted me recently and has suggested that I contact Chapters, where she used to work for a while. They have fundraising options….so get your list ready, but don’t buy yet! I’m going into my local Chapters to see what we can arrange! Perhaps I’ll contact a couple of the used book stores in town too!
